                            Nubra valley has earned the name ‘Heaven On Earth’ for its adorable beauty. You would have many times enjoyed riding on a camel earlier, but every time you ride a camel in Nubra valley, the ambience makes it a different experience every time. Placed to the north-east side of Ladakh and at an altitude of 3048 m. above the sea level, Nubra Valley is the valley of rivers Nubra and Shayok. As soon as you reach Nubra valley, you will be greeted by the 32 meter tall statue of Maitreya Buddha. You will also get to witness numerous ancient palaces and Gompas. You can take a leisurely walk around the valley enjoying the breath-taking scenarios. If you are a person who gets accompanied by a camera all throughout the trip, you can be certain that your camera can capture some of the most beautiful pictures here.

                            Plan a bike journey to Khardung La, to make your dream come true. Khardung La is rightly called ‘The Bikers’ Paradise’. Khardung La being elevated to a height of 5,359m, is hitherto the highest motorable pass on earth. It has been luring biking enthusiasts from all over the world since time immemorial. Even four wheelers can tread this pass. Remember, it demands adrenaline. Being the gateway to Nubra Valley, Khardung La is slightly a busy road. Tourists need to have a permit to take their four-wheelers onto these roads, but you can always hire a four-wheeler that is available locally. With the international borders in the near vicinity, Lord Shiva’s temple at the top, the whole length of pass promises to offer you enchanting sceneries to give you goose bumps. Though the road is flooded by adventurers, it offers very less risk. A ride, whose description is beyond words.

It has been an inimitable torch bearer of peace since its genesis, 1991. This structure was built in commemoration of 2500 years of Buddhism. Sunrise and Sunset are believed to be the best views that can be had at Shanti Stupa. If you are a fitness freak, you have a better option to reach the Shanti Stupa than the mostly practiced option of using a four wheeler or a bike to reach the Stupa. There are 500+ steps that take you directly to the Stupa. The deep breathing caused due to the climbing of steps, perfectly enables you to acclimatize to the changing atmospheric pressure. The tiring steady walk of 30-45 minutes will reward you with the best view of city. You can also find a meditation hall there and you’ll find lot of glee, if you are a fervent believer in spirituality.

Lower (northern) sections of that gorge are popular in summer with tourists making rafting trips, typically from Chiling to Nimmu. In winter when the road to Zanskar is closed by snow on the high passes, the only overland route to Padum is by walking along the frozen river, a multi-day hike that is now sold as an adventure activity called the Chadar (‘ice sheet’) Trek.

                            One of Leh’s most remarkable buildings, this tapered four-storey stone tower is a 21st-century construction based on a historic Lhasa mansion, with the added flourish of a fortress-style drawbridge. Inside, exhibits are relatively limited but the top floor Faces of Ladakh mini-photoessays are thought-provoking. The museum hides in a courtyard that also contains Leh’s oldest mosque, a traditionally styled Ladakhi show-kitchen and a small exhibition hall. Sadly, a dispute between the land owners and the fund that built the museum means access can prove tricky. There are even rumours that the whole structure could be demolished to create a shopping centre. So see it while you can. Even from the outside the site is worth a look.

                            Other souvenirs that you can pick up in Ladakh are beautiful hand-woven carpets and rugs. Traditionally woven with floral or geometric designs, these also make nice wall hangings. The dragon motif is very popular and can add a dash of colour and drama to any room.
